This quick and easy recipe is so much better than the canned stuff. Great as a first course, or with salad or sandwiches. Of course, you can use it in your favorite recipes, too. To make it thicker, use less stock and/or use heavy cream instead of the half-and-half cream or milk.

2 quarts (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces fresh mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
6 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup flour
2 quarts stock (chicken, beef or vegetable, canned or bouillon is OK)
1 cup half-and-half cream or milk

Directions

1
Lighly saute mushrooms in butter.
2
Add flour and stir constantly for about 5 minutes.
3
Slowly add stock, stirring until all is incorporated.
4
Simmer about 10 minutes.
5
Add cream, stir and serve.

My husband and I recently had to change to gluten free, and where excited to find a good cream of mushroom soup to alter to our needs, as we can no longer use canned cream soups. Thank you so much for this recipe instead of regular flour I will be using oat or brown rice flour in its place. Thanks again for an excellent recipe!

This was awesome! I was making beef stroganoff and realized I was out of cream of mushroom soup. Didn't have mushrooms, but it did the trick. The meal was delicious and all thanks to using this as a substitute! Thanks so much!

Excellent easy and very tasty soup. I had some baby portobellos that I needed to use up quickly. DH wasn't feeling well, so I asked him if he would eat some Cream of Mushroom soup if I made it. I adjusted the recipe slightly, and probably due to personal preference. I thought 2 qts. stock sounded like a lot for 8 oz. mushrooms, so I used 1 1/2 qts. and reserved the rest in case the soup was too thick. I had the opposite problem. Even with 1 1/2 qts. stock, it was too thin for my taste, so I added 2 tbs. flour to the milk before I stirred it in. Turned out perfect, and has a delicious mushroom flavor, and so fast and easy! I might never use canned soup again.
